Saudi Wildlife Center Launches Partridge Breeding Programs to Reintroduce Species into Natural Habitats

   Riyadh, May 26, 2025, SPA -- The National Center for Wildlife launched four partridge breeding programs—common partridge, Arabian partridge, Philby’s partridge, and sand partridge—as part of a scientific initiative to gradually breed and reintroduce these birds into their natural habitats, contributing to the sustainability of ecosystems.
   The programs are being implemented through the Prince Saud Al-Faisal Center for Wildlife Research, which operates under the National Center for Wildlife. These efforts follow international best practices in captive breeding and utilize advanced technologies to monitor biological performance and record data with high accuracy. The initiatives are led by specialized national cadres with expertise in managing breeding and reintroduction programs.
   The center has already achieved promising results, producing large numbers of these species as part of a preparatory phase for their release into suitable habitats in accordance with rigorous scientific and environmental standards.
